Thinkdust

Designer and art director Alex Haigh says, “An early obsession with type was the first clue that letters would take a leading role among my design devotions.” In 2007 he was able to transform his passion into a reality as he started his foundry, Thinkdust.

Just a short time after his debut, the UK-based designer saw success with his Miyagi and BAQ Rounded typefaces. His foundry continued to make high-quality fonts such as Vow, a typeface featured in our Rising Stars Newsletter, and Nanami, one of his best-selling fonts, which spent its first two weeks on MyFonts at the top of our Hot New Fonts list.

Constantly aiming to provide quality and variety to the type world, Alex credits his “determination, work ethic, and relentless drive” as the inspiration for his mantra: “Work like an idiot until you’re happy.”
